Yes, there are safaris in Scotland other than the obvious shooting/hunting related ones.Here are the safaris I can find in Scotland (note - some are more than a part of one day and would not be suitable for that reason):

The focus of my efforts has switched from safaris (a neat concept for Scotland and actually feasible) to surfing. The most likely surfing by AR22 teams was in the East Lothian section of Scotland, just east of Edinburgh. Here are the beaches I find most likely and whether of not they have any surf school:

QoR, Max & Katie and Mona & Beth are confirmed in DC. Bates & Anthony and Caroline & Jen are also spotted in DC. As with Whammo's post, Caroline & Jen are spotted in DC's Old Post office with Max & Katie and Mona & Beth. But Bates & Anthony were seen running near Mona & Beth near onto a mall or a shopping center and was seen behind.

I have been watching season 13 of the amazing race and i was watching leg 4 when they went to New Zealand and Phil's dad was the pit stop greeter i wonder if he will be the greeter again for this season when to go to Christchurch hahahahahaha

It is within the realm of possibility as Phil's family is from Christchurch, maybe the pit stop could even be Phil's childhood home.

You may be correct on the Pit Stop location, redskevin88. It seems like that may be the biggest possibility out of all Christchurch area choices. Lincoln, NZ isn't that far from Christchurch; it also has the first NZ supermarket generated by some wind turbines, so it may be the hit target for the mat... and Phil's dad!

The winning team = male/female team whom I can't make out whether is it Joey and Meghan OR Max and Katherine (BUT pretty sure it's not Jessica and John OR Chuck and Wyona). I thought I saw these three in the F3 but then I'm not sure if I've got Joey and Meghan identified in blurred vision of dreams or not.

SADLY, Mona and Beth are not in the F3.

I remember you guys were talking about Shemozzle Racing in Hunterville but I don't know if you guys know this but Hunterville is in near the middle of the North Island so we may be getting two legs in New Zealand.

Hunterville is too far away from Christchurch, I think there is a possibility the "shemozzle racing" task would be in Lincoln, not far from Christchurch.

So, teams are not going to be sent to Hunterville. However, the competitions from the Shepherd's Shemozzle Festival could easily be duplicated on the South Island. They include:

a cross country Shemozzle with Shepherds and Huntaway dogs (a large, strongly-built breed of dog used for general sheep herding tasks in New Zealand, especially for driving sheep) competing on an endurance and obstacle coursea Sheep shearing competition (done all over the South Island to attract tourists)

I thought I'd indulge in some speculation about the second Express Pass this season. Phil says in his recent TV Guide interview that the holders of the Express Pass get a lot of attention from the other teams that want to be given the second Express Pass. I imagine that they will quickly realize that the second Express Pass puts them in a difficult position. The team that gets the second pass will be very happy and most of the other teams will be upset with them.

One of the things learned from our spoilers is that David of Connor and David gets a leg or Achilles tendon injury in one of the Bora Bora legs. Somehow, according to the timeline, they managed to survive until at least leg 5 despite the fact that David was barely able to walk and was using a wheelchair in some of the sightings. They seems pretty remarkable to me and after thinking it over, I figure that the team that wins the Express Pass in the first leg will end up giving it to Connor and David. The Express Pass would be one way for them to survive a leg. The other teams can't get too upset about that since Connor and David aren't going to be much of a threat to the other teams and they will be thinking it's only a matter of time until the injury catches up with them and they are eliminated. Given the situation, it's probably the safest play for the team with the Express Pass. Unless they really want to forge an alliance with another team and don't care too much about the other teams.

I suppose it's possible that Connor and David could win the first leg and get the Express Pass. In that case, forget all of the above.

We have the Express Pass as an accepted and appreciated and sought after feature of TAR. So that's not going away.

At the end of the first leg, what would be even better than winning one?

Well? Winning two Express Passes of course!

But that may be just too simple. And I have my reasons. Let there be two EPs with the understanding that the second one has to be shared with another Team. Simple! Powerful! Adds drama too. TPTB probably got it from one of mutlitude of fantasy games going on allover. Can somebody check?

The reason I can bring this up and speculate it with high confidence comes from the spoiler information we have on Dave & Conner. Here's my guess: Dave does not actually hurt his Achilles Tendon. He claims to have sustained the injury in order to garner sympathy from the other Teams. In particular, sympathy from the Team that wins two Express Passes on the first leg. So the EP is handed over, the ankle magically heals , and Dave & Conner are launched into a very advantageous position in the game. One which may very well carry them to the final three.
